me FS 5/8

Hello Everyone

Okay as a reminder.

We'll send on a turn to a team-mate - please tell us before hand so that we
reduce our admin. (Player and game is fine - we can do the rest - you don't
need to change your email or anything like that). One turn is not a lot of
work, but when you run 8 games a day, and say one player per game per day
with all the other bits we have to do it builds up to be a considerable part
of our non-game administration. This is free of charge.

We'll reprint a turn on the day of processing - that costs you though.
�2.00 or $3.00 for that. If you want that option tell us when you email us
as otherwise I'll assume you'll be happy to wait. (Generally the email is
on its way to you and us reprinting it won't get it to you any faster - or
often email addresses are often full or non-valid for some reason).

We'll reprint a turn on the day after processing - that costs you nothing -
just email us the day AFTER.

Hope that helps clear up any misunderstandings.

The new XML creator is now being used. The problem for you guys is that
you'll need to use the latest version of Automagic to import the data for
your XML - it's just a matter of going to our (or Mike Mulka's via our
website) and download the latest version of the file.

Palantir the Mapping program should be okay next week assuming our
playtesters don't find any bugs.

The following new games are filling up.
1650 2wk [Game 98]: 8 nations available. (15/8/03)
2950 2wk [Game 230]: 19 nations available. (9/8/03)
1000 2wk [Game 40]: 22 nations available 1 DS [11/803]

Bofa Beginners game:
We need experienced players as mentors for new players in BOFA - expect
several games to set up after GENCON. (Get in touch if experienced for a
special deal here - all the game for CHEAP!!!!!!!)

Setting up in a game:
When I get all 25 nations into the game I will allocate you your choice of
nation from the list of nations that you have sent me - please send multiple
nation choices as this helps to get everyone their 1st or 2nd choices - if
too many choose only 1 nation the system falls apart. All nations are
potentially available until I set up the game.

Descriptions of the type of game follow - please check this when contacting
me with regards playing in that game. When joining with allies please tell
me so that I can help out. You cannot join 1650/2950 games as Neutral with
an aligned or Neutral ally.

Up to 2 nation game: You can play one or two Aligned nations, or one Neutral
nation.
2 nation game: You must play two nations.

Note please ask for variant games we can try to get you opposition for them
if you are interested - mostly Grudge teams though - if I get 10 players for
any single type of game then I will put it up for general availability below
and push it, always check the rules for variant games;

Grudge Games we need opposition for:
1000: None
2950: Chris M (10), Jason V (12- Wotr var)
1650: GM team (12v any 1650 or 2950 format)

I have drop-outs available - don't forget you get a free turn for taking
these up...
E [Early] = 0-10 turn, M [Midgame]= 11-20, L [Late game] = 21+ [A= Aligned
if a Neutral, N= not aligned if a Neutral, P = Postal and Email game, G=
Grudge, 1w = 1week game, 3w = 3week game]
Bofa: None
1000: None
2950: None
1650: Dark (e-prisoners)
Gunboat: None. (Please note past turns for all these nations are available)
Ask for specifics on what is available.

Thanks
Clint
